Kerry Sheep Sale


The sheep sale in Kerry, Powys, attracts farmers from far and wide looking to buy Kerry Hill sheep, the local breed that provides good wool and good meat. Ion Trant shows the sheep – including a particularly photogenic group of 4 - being gathered off the hillside for transport to the sale and the prospective buyers and auctioneer at the sale. A ruined cottage, out in the hills and abandoned to nature, also features.
